Graphic Novel Problem

09-04-2001, 04:49 AM

My computer is a Gateway, 450 MHz with the standard video drivers and such - STB Velocity 4400 version 4.0. Max seems to be running fine so far except for one big problem: the graphic novel transition screens don't work. I hear Max talking but the pictures don't - I get nothing but white. Though, you can tell it's trying to work because the white blocks are, I presume, the sizes of the graphic novel sections. Help!!

It sounds like a driver problem with your graphics card, ensure you have the latest from the menufactures website.

Yes, go to Gateway and check for updated drivers there first. After that, go find the video card manufacturers website. I also have a Gateway, and the drivers they have for my card are out of date. They never updated them to the release which actually supports DirectX 8. I actually went to a bulletin board I found for my card (www.rage3d.com for an ATI card). They not only had the official drivers available but a boat load of "leaked beta" drivers. I ended up using the latest beta because bugs in several games had been fixed since the last official release. I ended up with no graphical anomalies on this game. Now if I could just get some better sound card drivers...

Thanks. That's what is was. I started looking for a driver yesterday but got sidetracked. I found it tonight.

I have this same problem but I already had the most updated drivers. The only solution that worked for me was running it in 1024x720. Lucky for me, it is the only game I have that actually runs smoothly in that resolution. I have an Nvidia Vanta card. Is there something else I could do that would let me run it in 800x600? It is so much better (I think anyway) in that resolution.
